Avery Bradley (illness) expected to be back for Celtics Wednesday

Boston Celtics guard Avery Bradley (illness) is expected to play Wednesday versus the Cleveland Cavaliers, according to head coach Brad Stevens.

What It Means:

Stevens described Bradley as looking "fresher than last week." Look for him to return to action Wednesday after missing the previous two contests. Terry Rozier and Marcus Smart will see less run with Bradley back in the rotation. Isaiah Thomas may also take a slight usage hit.

Bradley is projected to record 16.1 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 2.2 3-pointers in 32.9 minutes versus Cleveland on Wednesday night.
